The rumors are that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may star as John Galt and Dagny Taggert in the movie version of Atlas Shrugged. Seems reasonable casting to me, I am just wondering how they are going to fit a 1160 page novel into a two hour movie. The real casting coup would then be landing Billy Bob Thornton and Jennifer Aniston as Hank and Lillian Reardon.
H/T Don Luskin
“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.” -Winston Churchill-
